>I opened a company specifically for this (ipad/iphone development) it was my plan to leave my current company and build something less stressful.
This seems more like wishful thinking (and underestimating the effort and polish needed) than a serious business decision.
>I reached a point where I'm no longer interested in building apps for the app store, apple asks too much and give us too little.
It asks for: a Mac to work (lots of people have one already) on, a $99/year iOS developer account and 30% of your sales.
With that you get: an quite capable IDE for free, a top-notch SDK, tons of documentation, access to a market of 100+ million devices and one-click credit card accounts that is KNOWN to sell billions of apps.
Seems like a bargain. Heck, companies used to sell a developer license for their SDK at the price of a high-end Mac itself -- and without providing access to any market or a free IDE. A lot still do.
What exactly have you provided to feel so entitled? A half-finished app, built while "learning Objective-C"?
